    Question about Terps TV schedule

    The Terps-Rutgers game doesn't seem to be on local TV this afternoon (I'm writing from Howard County, Maryland), which is pretty typical for Terp football. We can see Notre Dame football whenever we want, and ESPN shows lots of Big 10 football...ABC and CBS show lots of top 25 games...but Terp football is not shown regularly on local TV, unlike Terp basketball.

    Does anyone know why this is? Are the Terps reluctant to sell TV rights because they want to maximize attendance at the games? Does the ACC prevent them from selling the TV rights? Does ESPN get to dictate what games can be shown on free TV versus its premium channels like ESPNU?

    Its a damn embarrassment that the team can't get anyone to carry their games.

    Well, this year nobody would want to watch them, but that hasn't been true in general in recent years. Is that really why they aren't regularly on local TV? Nobody wants to show them? I find that a bizarre explanation; I can turn on Comcast Sportsnet and see Texas versus UTEP or other games that should have a lot less appeal locally then even a bad Terps team.
